ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED

SEPT/Oct 2019

Our Mission Statement

We, the members of St. John's congregation,

promise to share the good news of Jesus Christ

and to love one another through worship and service

in our homes, church, community and the world.

Sitting down to write on Friday the 13th, I can not help but think how the primitive tendency to super-

stition still enters our lives. I admit there has been more then one Friday the 13th when some unfortunate

surprise did come about. You can probably think of some too.

One for me was having a tire blow out on a busy freeway and not having a cell phone or a way to

call for help. I remember I got off the freeway safely and was thankful for that; I didn’t fret or worry but

just waited. Jesus teaches us that the power of faith and love is greater than our fears. Sure enough more

than one person pulled off, offered to help or call AAA and one stood by to wait until they came. They

were willing to take time out of their day to have empathy, exercise compassion and offer practical assistance.

Aren’t all of these things another way to spell ‘love?’ David Esterline, a former missionary and

seminary president sent a recent e-letter talking about God’s time and God’s love and I wanted to share

some of it with you. He quotes John Swinton in his recent book Becoming Friends of Time: “God’s time

does not seek to burden people with schedules, deadlines, targets, and competition…God is a God who rests

and commands rest, not a god who thrives on busyness, anxiety, and exhaustion. God’s time dictates the

speed of love; it refuses to race past those who are moving more slowly.. the purpose of time is to facilitate

and sustain love.”

I am sure there were many people who sped by me that day burdened by schedules and deadlines,

without God in their heart. Bible Gateway’s verse for this Friday the 13th is 1 Peter 3:8: “Finally, all of

you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.” It reminds us to be

empathetic, less driven by our own agendas, that even if, in this individualistic age we live in, we are not

like-minded, we can be like in the mind of Christ. Our Big Valley neighbors who, admit it, especially on

Wednesdays often try our patience on the road, may be a blessing as they remind us that God’s time refuses

to race past those who need us. Here, in the Bahamas and around the world. “The purpose of time is to

facilitate and sustain love.”

On Wednesday October 2 we have two special

joint church, West Kish and St. John’s, events.

A light Fellowship dinner for both congregations

at West Kish will begin at 5:30pm. The main course

is being provided, you are welcome to bring sides

dishes, salads or desserts.

At 7:00pm there will be a joint meeting of the

Council and Session of St. John’s and West Kish,

along with members of the joint pastoral committee

and joint pastoral call committee. Leaders of the

Presbytery and Lutheran Synod have requested

this meeting to see how sharing a pastor and this

denominational collaboration - the first in this area -

is going and to guide discussion.

This will be an informal and informative time for

them to share resources, for break out groups with

each denomination, shared group discussions and

feedback as well.

On Sunday, October 13 we will have a special

service based on liturgy developed at Camp Mount

Luther. Anne Harshbarger will be co-leading our

worship, along with another camp counselor who

will also be accompanying on guitar.

To help familiarize the congregation with the

hymns being used, one will be included in the

weekly services leading up to the 13th.

Any young adults/youth who would like to help

with the service are encouraged to contact Pastor

Ela.

Come and join in this inspirational worship

experience.

There will be a fellowship hour with refresh-

ments beginning at 8:30am in the library. Stop in

before the service and enjoy a cup of coffee and

other goodies, with our guests and church family.

Day Care

The Giant A+ rewards program begins again in October. If you shop at Giant, please enroll your

Bonuscard for this year’s program. A sign-up sheet will be placed in the narthex in the next few weeks.

This past year the daycare received a check for $721.69 from the Bonuscard purchases of those persons

who participated last year.

There are still 3 spaces available in the Pre-K Counts class, which we are trying to fill. If you know of

anyone who has a 3 or 4 year old child that may benefit from tuition free preschool, please have them contact

the daycare 935-2959 or the church office 935-2032.

Valerie McTavish was recently hired as Daycare Director. Below is a copy of the letter she provided to the

parents along with an excerpt from her resume.

Dear Parents/Guardians and Children,

My name is Valerie McTavish and I am privileged and thrilled to have the opportunity to serve as your

new Director. The first time I visited the school I immediately knew it was a special place and I wanted to

become a part of St. John’s Christian Daycare and Preschool learning community.

As a mother of two children, as well as an educator, I am acutely aware of parents’ needs and wants from

their children and more importantly from the care that is given to their children in their absence. I have a

degree in Early Childhood Education and have been passionately working in this field since 1998. In addition,

I am currently completing my Montessori Teaching Certification.

As an early childhood educator, I passionately believe in the importance of providing high-quality ECE

programs for all children. I consider it my privilege and honor to support the amazing teachers and staff at St.

John’s Christian Daycare and Preschool so that they are able to provide your children with excellence in an

early childhood Christian education. My goal is to collaborate closely with the school faculty and administra-

tion to carry on the mission and philosophy as intended to provide supportive, nurturing, and encouraging

environments for children and their families to discover new relationships, to discover new ideas, to construct

knowledge through play, and to cultivate a joy for learning.

I am looking forward to meeting every family personally and developing a positive relationship. I have full

conviction that we will develop this relationship together with an open door to communication. I am also look-

ing forward to a long and successful relationship with the St. John’s community. You have an extraordinary

group of children and I am eager to get to know each and every one.

Respectfully yours,

Valerie McTavish

Development Associate Credential (CDA), and Private School Assistant Teacher Certification. I am currently

working on my Montessori Teaching Certification and am working as the lead teacher in a primary classroom

at a Montessori private school. For the past 21 years, I have been working in the early childhood field at li-

censed daycare centers. I have worked with all ages of children; ranging from birth to 12 years. During 14 of

those years, I worked with SUM Child Development, performing many different responsibilities and roles.

During my time with this agency I started out as an Infant teacher and progressed to Assistant Head of the

Taylor Park site. I worked with Early Head Start as a teacher in the combo program as well as a home visitor.

I also worked as a Head Start teacher. I can honestly say that I love what I do and truly enjoy working with

children. This isn't just a job for me but a lifelong career.

When being interviewed, Valerie made the statement that anyone with a teaching degree will for the most

part look for employment in a school district or even private school because they offer much better pay and

long-term benefits. Daycares cannot compete with any state funded education positions. So, going into that

field can be described as a calling, as you are definitely not going into it for the money.

IN OUR CHURCH AND COMMUNITY

Last year, we did not have enough volunteers to

write meditations for our Advent Devotional, so it

was decided to not move forward with it. This year,

there has been renewed interest, so we will try again.

In the narthex is a sign-up sheet along with

selected scripture for each day of the Advent season

Your meditation(s) should reference the scripture as

well as the Advent season. It should also be at least

3 paragraphs in length and you may include a

prayer/reflection if you wish.

Please consider writing one.

They can be handwritten, typed or

emailed to the church office at

stjohnco@embarqmail.com.

The deadline to submit is

Friday, November 8.

St. John’s and West Kish Men will be singing

the last Sunday of any months, which have 5 Sun-

days. There is one on September 29 and again on

December 29. They will rehearse that morning at

8:45am in the F.H. Please consider sharing your

voice.

serving the church in this way.

Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas with a

devastating force, leading to major damage and a

growing number of reported deaths. There are still

many, many people unaccounted for. Lutheran

Disaster Response and the Florida/Bahamas Synod

are collaborating to assess the immediate need for

relief and recovery. Lutheran Disaster Response is

also in communication with the South Carolina

Synod, the North Carolina Synod, Lutheran Services

Carolinas and other partners who are preparing to

respond. With your support, Lutheran Disaster

Response can provide survivors of this hurricane

and others like it with immediate relief and can

accompany them on the long road to recovery.

Your gifts designated for “Hurricane response”

will be used entirely (100%) for direct response until

it is complete. Together, we can support those whose

lives have been impacted by hurricanes.

If you would like to support the recovery efforts,

special Disaster Response envelopes can be found in

the narthex, or you can notate “Hurricane Dorian”

on your check or envelope.

Join the Belleville Mennonite School commu-

nity as we celebrate 74 years of God’s faithfulness to

the school at the Faith Promise Banquet on Friday,

October 4, at 6:30 PM. The Banquet will feature

guest speaker, John Sharp (Class of ’69), a Concert

Choir selection, recognition for the classes that are

celebrating their 50th and 60th class reunions and

charge for the Banquet and delicious turkey dinner

that will be served, however an invitation to give to

the Faith Promise Annual Fund at BMS will be pre-

sented. If you wish to attend, please RSVP to the

school by September 20 by calling, 717.935.2184.

The Holiday Gift Show this year is scheduled for

Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30.

The purpose of the show, is to raise money for the

Casey Marthouse Scholarship Fund, which helps

provide tuition assistance to low-income families.

Proceeds from the sale of the baked goods, food,

vendor space, special prize raffles and wreaths,

along with any monetary donations are directed to

the fund.

Unfortunately, the amount the gift show raises

has been steadily decreasing, partly due to the cost

of purchasing food to prepare and sell, along with

purchasing items for the drawings.

IF, you would like to support the

Casey Fund by donating a gift card,

raffle prize, soups, baked goods or

other food items, PLEASE contact

the church office.

St. John’s Lutheran Church

Congregational Informal Meeting

Sunday, September 1, 2019

Our Mission Statement

We, the members of St. John's congregation, promise to share

the good news of Jesus Christ, to worship and to love one another

in our homes, church, community and the world.

Our Vision Statement To be people who are welcoming and encourage God's love in our community

through our prayer, devotion, benevolence and deeds.

President Ed Bilich called the meeting to order following the worship service. We did not have a quorum

of 30, so nothing could be voted on. Before Ed began, Kelly Byler requested to talk to the congregation to

explain and apologize for the financial matters the church and daycare were experiencing. After she finished,

Ed explained that only the daycare was currently having financial issues.

All payroll checks (St. John’s employees as well as daycare employees) are written from the St. John’s

current account. The daycare is supposed to cut a check to St. John’s to reimburse us for the full amount of

their payroll. Over a period of time, the daycare would come up short of money to pay their employees and

would pay us whatever they could pay from their checking account without being overdrawn. The under-

standing was that, when they received their income, they would reimburse St. John’s for the shortage.

In the Quickbooks bookkeeping system, the amount showing as “payroll expense” on the Daycare Profit

and Loss report was the amount paid to St. John’s instead of the actual payroll expense incurred. Because of

this, the report was constantly showing that the daycare was doing okay when, in fact, they were in the red.

The church was having a cash-flow issue and did not have the money in our current checking account to

pay the bills due in August. When we were analyzing the casuse of our cash-flow issue, we discovered that

the daycare owed about $24,000.00 in back payroll reimbursement for the year.

Kelly gave the daycare $12,000.00 in the form of a loan and Rosie (full-time teacher and acting fill-in

director) gave the daycare $2,000 in the form of a loan. These payments took care of the cash-flow issue, but

did not fix the problem. After the loans were applied, the money owed St. John’s amounted to $12,022.54.

Also, neither Kelly or Rosie took a paycheck for the last pay in August.

Ed spoke to Kelly about what happened, He told her that anytime there is a shortage in what the daycare is

able to reimburse the church, she is to contact the council president and he/she is responsible for determining

what is to be done before checks are printed off. He affirmed that she has no authority to pay for any expense

that the church did not incur. Approval must always come from council or the congregation.

Council held a special meeting on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, to decide how and what the church could

do with this situation. Ken Wyland was present as a representative of the Finance Committee. After lengthy

discussion, the council agreed to the following.

1. Change QuickBooks process to show the real picture and where all the money is and goes.

2. Have a congregational meeting to inform church members of what has happened.

3. Work with the Daycare Director, Valerie. Ken and Ed met with Valerie, and she had already come up

with some ideas on how to save money. She has 21 years experience in this business and has more

qualifications than other director we have had. She also plans on applying for grants which will help the

daycare with needed items and other expenses, and in turn this will also benefit the church. The following

is a list of ways she has already found that will cut expenses up to $55,000.00 per year.

Salaries saved by not hiring two people after receiving 2 resignations

$19,968

19,240

Total savings $39,208/yr.

Researching and applying for Grants

Pre-K Counts Grant already awarded to St. John’s

Pre-K Counts helps to cover may costs (rent/utilities, salaries, etc)

Director Savings that are not being paid out

$1,000/mo health benefits

$40/mo cell phone

Total savings $12,480/yr.

Overtime paid out from 1/1/2019-8/8/2019

$4,827.09 There should no longer be a need for overtime, so this amount should be drastically reduced, hopefully to

none at all.

Flex employee time rather than paying out overtime, (if necessary) will save approximately $763.20 to

$1,526.40/yr.

Supplies

Clorox wipes no longer needed because teachers should be using the Clorox/water solution

Approximate savings $212.46

Registration Fee Increase of $5

Vacation Holding Week Increase of $5

Tuition Increase of 3%

When classes are in ratio we combine and send staff home.

Accommodate parents as best as we can if they want to add days which increases tuition as needed.

Total cost of savings with Salaries, Director’s Fees, OT, Supplies + $58,253.95

Bingo held in October brings in approximately $3,000

Amazon Smile linked with preschool/parents/staff

4. We would like to start an “Emergency Church Fund” with the interest from the Vanguard Investments,

and the fund can only be used with council approval and congregation notification. Also, we voted to have

special envelopes distributed throughout the year for anyone who would like to donate towards the fund.

5. We are going to work together as a council, congregation and church family, to move through this time of

trial.

6. The Finance committee is going to research the best way to handle money given to help the daycare.

Whether to refer to them as loans or donations under the daycare account, so as not to interfere with the

Grants Valerie is going to apply for.

We will be holding another congregational meeting next Sunday, September 8, 2019, following the

worship service, to vote on certain issues. We do need at least 30 voting members present for a quorum.

The council would like to thank everyone for their support as we go through this time of trial. We also ask

everyone to look to God for guidance and keep us, our committees, our church, our daycare, the children and

each other in prayer.

As God loves us and forgives, we in turn follow Him and do the same. No one and nothing is perfect, and

as a church family we need to work together in love, faith and prayer.

Our mission in life is to help and support our children, family, friends, neighbors and anyone in need. As

God has taught us.

Please look to our Mission and Vision Statements and our Lord’s Prayer for words of wisdom.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Carol Fultz
